B'way Update: Maybe Faces Supply Chain Issues

Marcus Choi
Maybe Happy Ending, the new Broadway musical about lovelorn robots in South Korea, has shifted its preview and opening dates due to supply chains issues. The show was to have opened on Oct. 17 at the Belasco with previews commencing Sept. 18. The new dates are now Oct. 16 for previews and Nov. 12 for the opening. 

Maybe Happy Ending uses specially made video projections, which are a critically important part of its scenic design and unfortunately, there has been a delay in production for these custom theatrical goods from the factory which specializes in these models,” explained Allan Williams, Executive Producer. “That supply chain issue has caused the show’s postponement by a few weeks so that we can ensure the show maintains its unique and technologically advanced rendering to tell this story and the world of HelperBots ‘Oliver’ and ‘Claire’.”

The four-person has has been completed. In addition to previously announced Emmy and Golden Globe winner Darren Criss (American Buffalo, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story) and Helen J. Shen (The Lonely Few, Teeth), Dez Duron (NBC’s “The Voice”) and Marcus Choi (Wicked, Flower Drum Song) will make up the quartet.
